"We have been screwed over for years, we have learned the lesson of giving management an inch and management taking a mile. "

So what lesson have you learned?

I have learned RJs are here to stay and Trip7 (an RJ pilot) is correct about marketing. Read my past post here the issue is who will represent who flies the airplanes.

In the past this wasn't so. My fellow pilots back in the day gave up the RJs for bolstering the "Big Jet" pay and it sounds like many today are still more interested in max pay over supporting the little jets.

The fact is the small jets fill a space in this business and the past sold their birth right for a bowl of soup.
